To all of you who haven't... The Dragon is a must... however DON'T STOP THERE. There are way too many roads around the dragon which are also must rides. Also if you're into camping, I don't don't mean back country camping, there's a place southeast of the The Dragon called
Ironhorse Motorcycle Lodge that's smack dab in the middle of it all. The following links are the rides we did last month and last year. They are all good but the first and last are my favorites and both include The Dragon... In case it's not obvious, Ironhorse MC Lodge was our base with each ride starting from there. Also you'll note that all of these rides are all less than 170 miles and while you may think that's a short ride, they're not. All rides are through mountain roads w/ lots of scenic views, you would be remiss to not stop and enjoy them.
